Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] drm/nouveau: zcull support
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 15:05:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219-zcull3-v3-0-dbe6a716f104@darkrefraction.com> (raw)
These patches add kernel-side support for using the zcull hardware in nvidia
gpus. zcull aims to improve memory bandwidth by using an early approximate
depth test, similar to hierarchical Z on an AMD card. These patches add a
new ioctl on nouveau devices, which is currently only supported when using
gsp firmware.
Corresponding userspace changes for NVK are available here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/33861
This series is also available in git:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mhenning/linux/-/commits/zcull3
(v2): Split the first patch into two - one for fetching information from
the hardware and the other for adding the UAPI. Also, drop the
change adding DRM_NOUVEAU_SET_ZCULL_CTXSW_BUFFER - it isn't
necessary to get zcull working and will be pursued as a separate
performance improvement in the future.
(v3): Make commit messages more verbose. Remove WARN_ON() call.
